Over year ago, we launched Voronoi, our free new data discovery app.
Believe it or not, there are already more data-driven visuals on Voronoi than on Visual Capitalist (which has been around for 13 years!).
Every day there’s something new on Voronoi to see. And in aggregate, there are over 5,000 data stories to explore on the platform from 170+ world-class creators.
Let’s see what captivated users in August.
We’ll take a look at some of the best Voronoi visuals over the last month, including one standout Editor’s Pick, as well as the most discussed, most viewed, and most liked posts.

A historical timeline from USAFacts sparked lively discussion about the U.S. economy.
Commenters debated whether recessions can fairly be linked to the political party in power at the time, or if lag effects make such correlations unreliable. Others focused on how the definition of a “recession” has shifted over time—possibly explaining why fewer appear in recent decades.

No ChatGPT In These Countries 
In this map from Visual Capitalist, readers engaged heavily with the state of AI censorship.
ChatGPT is currently unavailable in 20 countries, often due to government censorship, strict privacy laws, or business decisions. The Great Firewall of China is one prominent example: combining legislation, filtering, and surveillance. VPNs remain a workaround, but even those can be criminalized.
